ab is jahan-e-barhana ka istiara hua

koi KHushi na koi ranj mustaqil hoga

aag ke sath main bahta hua pani sunna

nind ke bojh se palkon ko jhapakti hui aai

ki jaise koi musafir watan mein lauT aae

rudad-e-jaan kahen jo zara dam mile hamein

maddham hui to aur nikharti chali gai

har ek sham ka manzar dhuan ugalne laga

shahr mein sare charaghon ki ziya KHamosh hai

har aah-e-sard ishq hai har wah ishq hai

ban ke saya hi sahi sat to hoti hogi

zamin ke sare manazir se kaT ke sota hun

KHud ko har aarzu ke us par kar liya hai

yun mere hone ko mujh par aashkar usne kiya

chhup jata hai phir suraj jis waqt nikalta hai
